Hi just installed rc2 live USB but for the life of me can't find out how to add source to my windows hd
Is it even possible? If not what is the point of USB live. Is it for connecting with network shares!? Thanks in advance?

You can also add the source by simply typing in smb://ip.add.ress/<sharename> where the ip address is the ip of your windows box, and sharename is the share that you want to connect to.
After you enter all the information, it will ask you for a username and password and you can chose to remember the password for posterity sake.

In XBMC, go to Videos. Click Add Source. In the add source dialog click Browse. One of the locations is Windows Network/SMB; click it. Click on your workgroup (mshome, etc) next click on your computer name. Locate the shared folder that you want.

Thanks for the commands and how to get to enter them. I have now done this and can see the item In the media folder. However I do t see any files, I guess something is not quite right in the configuration of it?? Further help would be appreciated. Ps also now installed to hd. But still no good.

Apparently sudo mount -a Added to the end of the previous instruction seals the deal!
Just found out however I have no sound and just flashing colors for movies, I have ati radeon if any one knows about that issue?
Thanks

No sound is usually a muted device in Alsamixer.
Flashing colours for movies sounds like it could be a ropey GPU or no graphic acceleration enabled...?
